He was supposed to but was shutdown with his patella tendinitis.

Teams treated him like a rental in trade talks in July. Curious to see what they think this winter. 100%. They were always picking up the option.

The Sox aren’t moving to Nashville or anywhere. Nashville will get an expansion team or nothing.

Mason Adams 100% gets taken in the R5 if Sox don’t protect him. He needs to be added to the 40-man.

Will Venable isn’t going anywhere. He’s just getting his own guys.

Nothing will happen. Sox won’t say anything about the deal. It’s just journalists technically.

When dId his stuff regress? He looked good in last two starts after returning.

Rockies, Angels, Cardinals and Nationals

If that’s true, it’s a massive problem. It’s not an offseason decision. It’s a July decision.

Getz flat out said in the Garfein podcast that the injury doesn’t change their plans.

Huh? They won’t get nothing for him. Disagree. Not picking up the option would be stunning and the exact opposite of everything the GM has been saying publicly. I really don’t think it’s non-zero. If it was, they would’ve traded him for essentially the Cedric Mullins return.

If they traded him in July, we would’ve killed them for what the return would’ve been. This is the better path.

You might be right. The CF market is really bad though. I'm not sure what happens but they'll pick up the option. Correct

I can't believe that this is still a talking point. The Luis Robert decision was made in July. Once they didn't trade him for whatever they could, picking up the option became a necessity. If they weren't picking it up, they would've traded him for a very underwhelming Cedric Mullins type return. Declining Robert's option at this point would be a fireable offense. They're already committed. It wasn't a "see what happens and then decide" because the front office needed to make a decision on his future by 7/31 and they did so by not trading him. I don't know if he'll actually be on next year's team but I'd be absolutely stunned if they declined his option and made him a free agent.

I assumed that they wouldn’t pick up the option. Once they decided to not trade him, my opinion changed. They can’t and won’t lose him for nothing. I’d be stunned if they declined the option now and it’s a fireable offense if they did.
